1963-79 Corvette Axles (Drive Flange not included)
Dragvette has stepped up to the plate and developed our own inner axle and outer axles. We choose to use a made in the USA steel " Hy Tuff " it is commonly used for aircraft landing gear. This material is designed to sustain repeated shocks. We then choose USA craftsmen that take pride in there work to manufacture our axles here in the USA.
Taking this opportunity we made some improvements. Our flange is 30% thicker than the previous units on the market. We have witnessed a couple of flanges that had been bent because of a half shaft failure. We have also come across a few of the threaded holes stripped because there are fewer threads in a narrower soft flange. The biggest difference is the Dragvette axle is hardened RC 48 from end to end. Other axles are hardened on the needle bearing surface only and soft on the rest of the inner axle soft.
If you pump up your horse power. The stock 17 spline side yoke is to weak for the big horsepower engines. Some Corvettes came from the factory with a paltry 190 HP motor. Add 200 plus horse power and bam instant rear end failure. We can fit any aftermarket Corvette 30 spline application and of course our "Racers Rear End" comes equipped with only the best parts.These are stronger and tougher than any other axles on the market. We may have to do custom machine work to fit into stock Corvette rear ends or aftermarker rear ends.
